Matt, god of repairs; Pakistanis idol of parts machining?

One cant help but admire the works of Matt in Diesel Creek in salvaging junk equipment, resurrecting them from non functional state to one that roars and works.

As this post watched his work on Fiat Allis payloader (used as forklift)

1.  Removal of weeds with brush cutter and chain saw;

2.  Restoring electrical power, fixing batteries

3.  Fixing the fuel system;   making sure that fuel reaches the injectors

4.  Restarting the unit;  bypassing the starter, shorting the circuit and making the unit start after 12 years.

It looked impossible that Matt was able to do this in less than a day.  Perhaps, it was because the unit was under a warehouse so 

He and Pakistanis are as remarkable.  Pakistanis craftsman are known for their quick and easy repair of parts like shafts, gears and the like.  In record time.   Westerners typically will opt for a new off the shelf part, wire harness or assembly.

Had these videos been availabe before, I would have devoted more time for endeavors as this.   However that is contrary to bigger business and life purpose

Turbo failures can cause engine failures which can be caused by bad filters.

 Engine failures especially low power can be caused by turbo charger failures which can be caused by:

       1.  Non delivery of oil or coolant to the turbo;

       2.  Old oil non functioning oil filter

       3.  Carbon deposit on the turbo shaft due to sudden turning off of engine after a long drive (thus

            burning oil)

Be sure you take good care of turbo if your vehicle has one

Case excavator lost power due to malfunctioning turbo; be sure turbo has proper oil supply

 Matt found his newest acquisition, a Case excavator always on verge of stalling as he goes through its function.   It happened on  cold day, and he mistakenly had an open throttle, and this may have caused the turbo failure.

The solution is always turbo replacement and the challenge was removing the turbo from the exhaust manifold.  You need heating the nuts and bolts and they can get stuck in areas where there is plenty of cycle for heating and cooling.   

Thus do not turn off engine at once after a long drive as it will cook the oil cooling the turbo.   Install a turbo timer and or wait for 5 minutes before turning off the engine
